EXPLANATION BY GOVERNOR LI KUO 'YUN

Li Kayun, Civil Governor of Kwang-

has forwarded the following tung telegram to the Central Government, denging the staterent made by some Peking newspapers alleging that he had reocived a bribe of $350,000 for the removal of the gambling prohibition in Kwangtung Province:-

Statement of the Governor of Ewing- tung to the Cheng Shih Tang, dated Bih day of the 5th month: The scheme of Kwangtung Charity Lottery was approv ed by the Central Government, and the regulations provide that the contract should be awarded by tender. But as no merchants were willing to submit tender for the contract, it was decided that special officials be appointed to start the enterprise in certain selected districts, financed by the Government, so that every cent of the profit may go into the Government treasury.

However, later on, the 'Shang Chiang Chun, General Lung, who was of opinion that as money was urgently needed to pay the troops, it was desirable that no delay should be caused by the above plan, requested that the contract should be awarded to the merchant who petitions for is by the Military Authorities without putting the contract up to public tender.

ALLEGED IMPEACHMENT,

Unexpectedly of late the newspapers of Canton City have published a special telegrain from Peking alleging that on account of the receipt of a large bribe for the removal of gambling prohibition. Kuo-yun has been impeached." " Lettors received from Peking at a later day state that the Peking papers have also published the rumour that i had received a bribe to the amount of $350,000. It is well- known that in this province the practica of bribery and the misuse of influence were once so rife that they were looked However, upon as established customi since my arrival at this province I have

A done my utmost to cure the evil. those who tried to secure favour by in- fluenco, oz bribe were severely reprimand- ed and refused. As to the members of my staff, I am fully confident that all of them are morally usblamable.

INVESTIGATION INVITED.

When the licence was issued to the Kwangli Company, many newspapers attacked the project itself, but none of them questioned in the least the honesty of this office. They knew full well that no bribe was received by this office.

Now many months after the transaction some one trice to create this rumour with out a particle of reason. I believe some one has put it forth purposely with a definite aim. Although I do not want to make conjectures, but as the case involves the law of this nation and the reputation of an individual, it should not be passed over lightly, even though the statement in the papers is only a rumour.

11, Euo-yun, am guilty of having made mistakes in my official duties I am willing to accept the blame; aleo I am willing to submit to any hostile criticism if it is for raising funds for the needs of the Government. But when my per- sonal character is attacked, my heart is stabbed. Therefore, I hereby request that an impartial and trusted high official be sent to Kwangtung to institute a thorough investigation, so that the real facts of the whole case may be revealed Whether substantial evidence is found or not, I am willing to receive the severest sentence, if there is the slightest cause to cast suspicion on my character relating to the receiving of the alleged bribe, so that the whole country may be satisfied that justice is done. I earnestly urge you to lay this before the President and wait for his decision.

A MINING AMALGAMATION

IN CHINA.

PEKING SYNDICATE AND CHUNG YUAN COMPANY,

UNIQUE COMBINATION OF CHINESE AND BRITISH INTERESTS.

After many years of fruitless negotia- tions, the Peking Syndicate questión has at last been solved by compromis between the parties concerned, and a new joint enterprise, it is announced, will be formed under the name of the Fu Chung Corporation. An agreement to this effect was signed on the 7th instant in Peking by the representatives of the partios con- cerned, in the presence of the special delegate of the Wai Chiao Pu. The dis pute, which lasted many years, was between the Peking Syndicate (British) and the Chung Yuan Company (Chinese) regard. ing the extent of the mining concessions which were not clearly stated in defini- tion. By amalgamating the two concerns the problem is now solved. In reality, however, the two old companies remain separate as far as the defined rights are concerned, the new company working in the regions where the rights of the two- concerns overlap: for instance, in Huai- chingfu, where the two old companies each have their respective mines, the new mines of the Fu Chung Corporation will only be allowed to prodnee enough conl to make up the deficit of the two old com- panies in meeting the demands; but in the regions of Yu (Honan), where the new Fu Chung Corporation shall have exclusive rights, the two old companies are not to start any new enterprise which will conflict with the interests of the Fu Chung Corporation.

THE BOARD OF CONTROL.

Generally speaking. the joint concern will act as a sort of sales depurlwent for the two old companies sa well as for the working of concessions claimed by both concerns. The new corporation will have, a total capital of 81,000,000, and will be placed under the direction of a Board of Control consisting of six Directors, three from each old Corupany, The Chairman of this Board, who shall have the casting. vote in addition to his own vote in the
